Mana Crystal Sale

Currently there are no sales on Mana Crystals, which is odd for the release of a new set. Was this an oversight or intended since the last one wasn't that long ago?

They had a mana crystal sale a few weeks ago, right? I thought they were generally staggered.

Glad to be proven wrong. That's from my recollection.

They normally do a sale during set releases. I have bought the 3000 pack at nearly every set release during the 5 years I've played. $70 was hard to justify for a mobile game. $100 is impossible. I really feel like the devs are looking out for my best interests and doing their best to encourage me not to buy things from them.

Your post made me laugh @Narcoticsagent, it definitely seems to be the case.

@jtwood Yeah, that is why I am curious if that is why we didn't get one this time. Did they forget or is it too soon for another one? I skipped out on the last one and was going to wait until the new set dropped to buy some. I'm with @Narcoticsagent though and am not going to spend $100 on a single pack. I'm not above it, just not going to do it anymore. I'll buy crystals, but only on sale.

Iirc the previous sale was ‘content boosted’ rather than sale value discounted.
 

So the £100 one was still £100 but gave something like 30% more crystals rather than being discounted by 30%.
Maybe they were testing to see which was better? 

From my point of view tho- IF I was still buying (which I’m not) rather than subscribing I would go for the overall purchase value being cheaper and wouldn’t buy the boosted amount.

@Avahad I think you are right, price was the same, but the bonus amount was increased. Either way, I am with you. I will buy what I want at a cheaper price rather than being locked in to the $99.99 price point.

And btw $100 US is currently less than £75 UK so please @Oktagon_Support why are we getting charged £100? Just because the numbers look a bit the same isn't a good enough answer. 
What are other people paying around the world, I'm wondering who gets the best value for money?

Didn't Steam just get in trouble for this? I agree that just because the numbers look similar Exchange rates will rip you a new one.

Well.... the sales on now..... I pity anyone who bought the crystals at full price on set release day....
